Tucked away in one of Buffalo Grove's most peaceful settings, this home offers both character and modern upgrades - all on a coveted premium lot backing to open green space and a scenic trail corridor leading to Lion's Park or ball fields.

Three additional bedrooms offer hardwood flooring, comfort and flexibility for the larger family, work-from-home needs, or hobby setups. You'll appreciate the many mechanical updates done with care: new roof, gutters & fascia/soffits wrap (2023); furnace & AC replaced in 2019; water heater new in 2021, insulated front door, upgraded hardware throughout, hardwood floors, upgraded casement windows, and large, beautiful rustic garden shed! You've got a home that blends charm, with true peace of mind. Outside, the premium fenced backyard offers you a tranquil view of nature - but still easy access to trails, parks, and community amenities.
